An Oregon man who set out to walk across the U.S. to honor his gay son, who committed suicide after being bullied, was struck and killed by a truck in eastern Colorado, authorities said Thursday.
Joe Bell, 48, had made it from La Grande, Ore., all the way to just a few miles short of the tiny town of Hugo when a semi-tractor-trailer hit him as he was walking on the shoulder of U.S. Highway 40 late Wednesday afternoon, said the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
Bell was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the semi, a Texas man who wasn't injured, was cited for careless driving resulting in death.
Sheriff's deputies were scheduled to pick Bell up later in the evening to take him to The Methodist Church of Hugo, where he was supposed to speak to the youth group.
